Features
l
No complicated adjustments required
Position can be measured just by installing a 1-D PSD on
the board.
l
Accurate position sensing
Use of pulse-driven LED allows accurate position sensing
even under background light, and independent of pulsed
light intensity.
l
Compact design
An LED drive circuit, head amp, signal addition/subtraction
circuits, sample hold circuit, synchronization circuit and
analog divider circuit are mounted on a compact PC board.
Applications
l
Displacement measurements using pulsed light synchronized
with the circuit
l
Various studies using 1-D PSD
l
Performance evaluation of 1-D PSD

Output method
*1: Duty ratio: 3/10, pulse width: 90 μs, LED: L1915-01 (made by Hamamatsu; sold separately)
*2: These resistors are lead types and inserted into sockets, so it can be easily to exchange by the user if necessary in
a range between 1 × 10
4
to 1 × 10

. For more details, see the instruction manual that comes with the product.
*3: PSD does not operate correctly if the input signal current is outside the specified range.
*4: Maximum output amplitude can be adjusted in a range of ±2 to ±10 V according to PSD type to be used.
*5: With no PSD installed and LED turned off; pulsed current of 20 μA (X1=X2) is supplied to the circuit as current
signal (duty ratio: 3/10, pulse width: 90 μs) that substitutes for PSD photocurrent
